Le Symposium BDC a accueillie Vicky Lentz en tant qu'artiste invitée et conférencière en 2019. “Comme à chaque année les conférenciers convoqués, ont su nous apporter un éventail d'informations importantes et judicieuses. Pourtant, au moment où l'artiste Vicky Lentz à débuté sa présentation, nous avons très vite réalisé qu'elle allait nous transporter dans une sphère de réflexion intense et inédite au Symposium BDC. Sans contredit le coup de coeur de notre événement, elle a livrée jusqu'à la toute fin, une présentation généreuse et authentique, en posant tout au long, les questions artistiques fondamentales. Nos artistes sont repartis inspirés et déterminés d'approfondir leur travail. Pour la première fois dans nos cinq années d'existence, un.e conférencier.re recevait une ovation.” -Mélanie Parent, Vice-Présidente, Symposium BDC
